Mineral sands containing approximately 25% rutile in the heavy fraction were assessed for their geological extent and economic potential. The heavy mineral strandings occur over varying widths of up to 60 feet throughout the total length of Morrison...

Uranium exploration in a known uraniferous area located immediately north of Iron Knob comprised numerous ground radiometric survey traverses made across outcropping Mesoproterozoic rocks, mainly the Corunna Conglomerate. A thin phosphatic basal bed...

Laboratory beneficiation feasibility tests have been conducted on a 250 lb bulk sample of known heavy mineral - bearing beach sands which were taken from nearshore dunes located along the northern coastline of Kangaroo Island at Nepean Bay. It was...

Early-stage exploration of the State's South-East coastal region for possible economic heavy mineral sand placer deposits in ancient raised beaches has comprised an assessment of favourable geology, historical depositional conditions and...

A structurally deformed area in the southwestern corner of SML 704, having many copper carbonate showings and small historic workings known as the Yudnamutana Mining Field, has been mapped at a semi-detailed scale. The area is transected by the...

Three, or possibly four, raised beach ridge deposits were located along the coastline of the western Eyre Peninsula region during a reconnaissance survey of potential fossil strandline and foredune trapsites looking for economic heavy mineral sand...

This report book contains zircon - derived U-Pb geochronological data, which was obtained between January 2005 and April 2006, for basement rock samples taken from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The data has been generated as part of the...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...

This report presents the results from zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on seventeen quartzofeldspathic samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. The samples were collected from stratigraphic units mapped as the Archaean to early...

The SHRIMP zircon dating study described herein was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA), as a collaborative research project between the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) and Geoscience Australia (GA). Eight samples...

The St Peter Suite has been previously interpreted to have formed in a subduction-related setting; however, there are limited data with which to assess this interpretation. This report comprises two parts. The first is a summary of Sensitive High...

This technical report presents laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data for 15 rock samples derived from locations spread across the Gawler Craton. The purpose of the subject dating project...

The laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data reported herein derive from three rock samples sourced from the central - northern Gawler Craton, South Australia. These samples have been...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

This report presents the results from zircon LA–ICP–MS U–Pb geochronological age determinations, and both trace and rare earth element abundance geochemical analyses, performed on fifteen outcrop and drill core samples originating from the...
